A new high-tech motorcycle helmet — it sees what you may have missed.

Skully Helmets, a San Francisco firm, has developed a motorcycle helmet with built-in technology that makes bikers more aware of what’s going on around them.

The full-face helmet has a rear-facing 180-degree camera so you can see what’s behind you. This means that if you’re distracted by something that makes you turn your head, the camera picks up all those blind spots your head-turning created. What the camera sees is transmitted to a heads-up display that appears in the a corner of the rider’s field of vision. (Click here to read about how it works.)

The helmet also has turn-by-turn GPS navigation and an operating system that enables riders to listen to music or make phone calls with built-in voice commands.

The helmet was conceived by Marcus Weller after he had a motorcycle accident in Barcelona five years ago. Weller “turned his head to look at a sign and was hit by a car,” said a Skully spokesperson. He believed that if he had been able to see his surroundings better he may have been able to avoid the accident. This tumble to the Spanish pavement gave Weller the idea for his helmet.

Weller put together an engineering team to develop the helmet, secured patents for it and formed his Skully Helmets company.

The first beta release of the helmet is expected in late spring; the price has not yet been set but will be comparable to other luxury motorcycle items. According to the spokesperson, the helmet, which is being manufactured in the United States, will come in sizes ranging from small to extra large and in colors of black or white.
